28

 The afternoon sunlight streamed through the window, casting bright patches of light on the floor, as if time stood still. Outside, a row of tall sycamore trees rustled in the wind, producing a soft whispering sound.


Everyone in the lab was busy.


Since they were recently working on a virtual gallery project, Liu Shuyiao took some time to learn more about UI design, hoping to contribute to the collaboration.


But now, sitting across from Xiang Ran, her mind was already wandering.


Cautiously, she leaned her head forward, peering over the edge of her notebook.


When Xiang Ran was coding, he was usually oblivious to everything around him. His attention was fully focused on the screen, his hands flying over the keyboard, constantly typing, modifying, and debugging.


Occasionally, he would furrow his brows, staring at the display monitor, scanning the code or error messages.


Her boyfriend looked really handsome~


Boys who work seriously are the most charming!


While Liu Shuyiao was lost in her thoughts, the fatty guy beside her couldn't sit still.


Suddenly, he handed over his phone, showing the ordering interface of a bubble tea shop. Liu Shuyiao shook her head, signaling that she was on a diet, and pushed the phone back.


The fatty guy had no choice but to order a cup for himself, waiting for the moment he could sneakily take a sip.


Afterward, he exchanged glances with a nearby friend.


"I’ve finished my part of the interface. How’s your progress?" Xiang Ran ignored the cup of bubble tea in the fatty guy’s hand and asked.


"Uh?"


The fatty guy was startled by the unexpected progress check and almost choked on his mango drink.


"I want to debug it with you and see if there are any issues."


Xiang Ran continued.


"I'm almost done. Just a little more."


"Okay."


Once he finished his question, Xiang Ran didn’t say anything more, and the fatty guy put the bubble tea aside, clearly speeding up his work.


Since the virtual gallery mainly showcased the front-end display, Xiang Ran kept a close watch on the fatty guy, making adjustments whenever there were problems.


Seeing that they were all busy, Liu Shuyiao decided to refill some water.


She hadn’t taken the rabbit-shaped kettle with her; she had just put it away in the cabinet because it collected dust easily here. If left on the table, it would take ages to clean every day.


She skillfully found the place, removed the plastic bag from the kettle, and then headed to the water station.


After a quick rinse, she filled it with water to heat.


Hearing the water boiling with a gurgling sound, Xiang Ran looked up for a moment.


Then he shifted his gaze back to the newly updated system.


He casually clicked around the page sections to check for errors.


In this latest version, through digital technology, the functional areas of various specialties presented dynamic effects that were visually stunning!


However, as Xiang Ran clicked, Liu Shuyiao watched the images switch one after another. Although it looked quite cool, something felt off.


She frowned slightly, pondering what was wrong.


Feeling a gaze beside him, Xiang Ran turned to look at Liu Shuyiao, who was intently focused on the big screen.


"Is there a problem?"


He was always meticulous about coding.


"Um..."


"Look here. Since our works aren't just about showcasing them, art has life and value. The experience of switching between each piece shouldn’t be the same."


"Could we use CSS animations for effects and transitions in this part?"


Liu Shuyiao pointed to a section on the display screen.


However, when it came to specific technical details, her voice was still soft. She glanced nervously at Xiang Ran standing nearby and continued only after seeing him nod.


After all, she didn’t know much, and she didn’t want to be told she was overcomplicating things.


"It’s similar to showcasing by adjusting the opacity property and transition property or other methods that match the current artwork."


"......"


Liu Shuyiao didn’t understand much, so she simply expressed her thoughts.


"Go on!"


Xiang Ran was pleasantly surprised and nodded.


Liu Shuyiao rested a pen against her chin, biting her lower lip, her eyelashes fluttering. She felt a bit shy after receiving praise, but she gathered her courage to continue.


"I just happened to look into it."


"And about this part, we can..."


Xiang Ran patiently waited, believing in the saying,


"If we don’t think before writing code, we’ll be stuck fixing errors after."


This had always been his standard at work.


Gradually, though, his gaze shifted from the code to Liu Shuyiao. It was indeed the first time in a long while he seriously assessed her.


The strange events following the accident had led him to subconsciously avoid getting to know Liu Shuyiao.


But in truth, the fatty guy had already mentioned that the campus beauty ranked first in her major and had a great talent for drawing. She also excelled in literature classes.


Given this cross-department collaboration, even though they had to redo some initial design drafts due to issues, it was somewhat his fault for not providing clear requirements. Still, they quickly produced a solid design.


Subsequent collaborations went smoothly.


Now...


Xiang Ran didn’t expect that as a fine arts student, understanding some UI knowledge would be relevant to her field, but he hadn’t anticipated that Liu Shuyiao had even done a bit of homework on CSS animations.


It was evident that she had thoroughly researched the two proposals he had prepared before reporting to Teacher Wu.


The concept of a "virtual gallery" was also great.


...


Lost in thought, he realized the fatty guy hadn’t been paying attention at all, still sipping on his bubble tea, so he smacked his hand down.


"Pay attention!"


"This part needs to be changed! The previous version doesn’t work!"


The distracted fatty guy pulled out his phone, barely scrolling for a moment, before Xiang Ran called his attention again.


"Huh?"


"Where to change?"


"Listen to Liu Shuyiao."


That was all Xiang Ran said before he returned to his seat.


After all, he had noticed that the suggestions made by the campus beauty were indeed quite insightful...

Translation Update! 🍙 Translation Update! 🍙 ✨ Quick note: English isn't my first language, so please understand there might be some typos or awkward phrasing - I'm doing my best! ✨ Hey everyone, just a quick update: As of today, April 28, 2025 , I want to give you all a heads-up about a few small issues you might come across in the story, specifically with some of the prop names. It's not exactly a typo issue—it's more about changes I've made over time. For instance, I originally used the term 'data concealment number' but later changed it to 'number concealment data.' Since these are just prop names in the story, it's not a major issue for the plot, but I totally get that some of you might find it a little annoying if you're really particular about details. ...

cysvhhz Chapter 1

 “Bang—” The air trembled, and bright light hit Gu Zhan's eyelids, making him squint. “Patient 707 has been admitted.” A cold female voice sounded. Patient 707? Who? Gu Zhan squinted against the blinding light and realized he was lying down under a surgical shadowless lamp. Next to him stood several people in deep green surgical scrubs, their faces obscured by the light. One of them leaned over to look at him; the blue medical mask covered most of his features, leaving only a pair of narrow, dark eyes visible. He said, “707 has woken up. Administer a sedative.” A syringe pierced the back of Gu Zhan's hand, and the cold liquid flowed in, gradually blurring his consciousness... ... “Crash—” “Bang!” The sound of metal clashing echoed sharply. A metal bed was forcefully pushed away, sliding a great distance before crashing against the wall. Gu Zhan's head struck the bed frame heavily, and the intense pain momentarily brought him back to awareness. Then came the sound of a door ...

The broadcast from the main system echoed throughout the instance. In the pitch-black snowy night, accompanied by the eerie howling wind of the ebony forest, Jiang Yan felt utterly disoriented. The "Hunter" in front of him couldn’t hear the main system’s intrusive voice and was still waiting for his "little sheep" to kiss him. However, Jiang Yan simply reached out, gently touched the demon-like ram horns of the "Hunter," and then unhesitatingly pulled the blanket over his head. Hunter: "...So disobedient." Soon after, a kiss landed softly on the top of Jiang Yan's head. A pair of long, broad hands rested on his waist as the "Hunter" drifted into slumber. Meanwhile, the game forum’s players erupted into an explosive celebration: [I’m dying of laughter! What kind of penalty is this?? It’s my first time hearing such a ridiculous deduction reason!] [“Please immediately kiss the BOSS.” What the heck? Hahaha...] [This will go down...

Jiang Yan ignored 663, curling up under the blanket like a quail. The "Hunter" holding him would occasionally rub his head, seemingly captivated by the texture. Jiang Yan obediently played the role of a "pet." Based on his years of watching horror movies and reading scary stories, he knew that being "clever" or "kind-hearted" in such games only led to quicker deaths. "You still have five days," the Hunter said, savoring the softness and compliance of the person in his arms. His pale, pupil-less eyes glinted with pleasure. Although a sheep's head couldn't show human expressions, it was clear he was smiling. Hearing this, the four people huddled in the cage shivered in unison. Only Wang Yu sat blankly by the edge, tears streaming as he gazed at his lover. The "Cops and Robbers" Game The "Hunter" acted as the cop, giving the players (the "robbers") ten days to escape the forest. If they found t...

 In early September, during a Mathematical Analysis class at A University of Science and Technology, the sophomore students were noticeably distracted. The young professor at the podium glanced down and spotted a large group of students engrossed in their phones. Though he wasn’t a high school teacher, he couldn’t help but lament inwardly: “This generation is worse than the last. Even in Math Analysis class, they dare to slack off?” He could already envision the dismal outcomes on the final grades. Clearing his throat somewhat theatrically, he still received no attention. Growing annoyed, the professor resolved to be tough with the grades this year to combat this poor attitude. At the back of the classroom, Ge Zhicheng's heart raced as he continuously refreshed the backend of the academic system's page. What the professor didn’t know was that today was the day for second-year students in the College of Science to be reassigned to dormitories; the assignment list would be post...
